This Ansible Galaxy role is now deprecated in favor of the new Ansible collection. Please use the Ansible collection instead: https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-ansible.
A collection of Ansible modules that automate configuration and operational tasks on Palo Alto Networks Next Generation Firewalls -- both physical and virtualized form factor. The underlying protocol uses API calls that are wrapped within the Ansible framework.

The Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Ansible modules were previously distributed as an
Ansible Galaxy role (https://galaxy.ansible.com/paloaltonetworks/paloaltonetworks).
Since Ansible 2.9, RedHat has urged developers to migrate to collections to
organize and distribute their integrations. The new collection can be found here:
https://galaxy.ansible.com/paloaltonetworks/panos
The 1.0 version of this collection is a straight port of the Ansible Galaxy
role v2.4.0. If you are using Ansible 2.9 or later and you are using the
role, then you can safely use this instead with no change in functionality. Just
specify the collections spec, remove
PaloAltoNetworks.paloaltonetworks from the roles spec, and you're done!
Now that the collection is live, no new features will be added to the role. All active development will take place on the collection moving forwared. Users are encouraged to upgrade to Ansible 2.9 and start using the new collection to stay up-to-date with features and bug fixes.
The recommended way to install the modules is installing the Palo Alto Networks Ansible Galaxy role:
$ ansible-galaxy install PaloAltoNetworks.paloaltonetworksOlder modules modules are part of the default Ansible distribution which is available at:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/modules/network/panos
